Content:
•Definition and basic process:
1. Induced fit
2. Mechanisms of transition state stabilization
•Detailed in example to make you
understand more about mechanism of
enzyme catalyst:
Chymotripsin

Lock-key theory
•A Specific active site for a specific substrate
How can make the
key to be fixed to the
locker???

Induced fit theory
•The initial reaction between E and S is weak, but it
rapidly induce by conformational changes in the enzyme.
